Constituency questions
Pakenham electorate
Pakenham electorate
Emma VULIN (Pakenham) (15:42): (239) My question is for the Minister for Energy and Resources. With power bills increasing, this government has committed to providing some cost-of-living relief through the fourth round of the power saving bonus. Coming off the massively successful third round of the bonus, which had 1.85 million applications, I know that my constituents of the Pakenham district are taking up the bonus and putting the money right back in their pockets. Through the Victorian Energy Compare website you can also compare your bill and get the best deal. Many have used this resource to find a cheaper energy provider, and Victorians across the state are saving through finding a better rate. I have used this website to compare my own provider and change companies. So I ask: Minister, how many applications for the $250 power saving bonus have there been in my electorate of Pakenham?
